Hi creative friend!

I‘m back from my warm tropical Hawaiian holiday visiting the fam with sandy toes and a studio full of new ideas—including a series of new BTS In the Paint Studio videos I’ll share this season plus join me for Monday’s live demo session. But first, let’s talk about what just dropped…

I just posted a brand-new video with a behind-the-scenes look at my INKatelier Winter Collection, including my new Mineral Wash Inks with that velvety matte, mineral finish I’ve been experimenting with in the studio. ❄️🎨

Watch the video here

Join me live Monday:

If you’re off for the holiday (or just want a little creative spark mid-day), come hang out with me live. I’ll be demoing the INKatelier Winter Collection and my NEW MONOPRINT bars, sharing simple ways to use the inks, wax paint and playing with a few mixed media layering ideas.

I’ll be showing:

• quick matte ink backgrounds (layering + washes + texture)
• shimmer add-ins and easy mixing ideas
• how I layer inks with wax, pigment bars, and mark-making for rich, textured pages Plus Q&A at the end, so bring your questions and your favorite brush.
• an experiment with heated monoprints

If you want to experiment and play with the new mixed media inks, you can explore what’s available here.​
